Invading iraq and plunging the country into crisis and chaos so that American capitalists can extract the oil there is such an absurd conspiracy, I don't know why people believe it.

Obviously if there is a dictator somewhere in the world America is completely justified to use inhumane measures to punish the people there for letting that dictator rule.

In reality though, Iraqi oilfields are mostly owned by BP and the chinese, not the US. So yeah it is a conspiracy

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
